Lately we've noticed that we're getting a lot of "sorry living room light is not responding" (or pick another device) particularly when we go to bed. My wife asked last night, "what's wrong with Alexa these days?" I told Alexa to discover then it works. This has happened the past two nights.HS3PRO 3.0.0.500 as a Fire Daemon service, Windows 2016 Server Std Intel Core i5 PC HTPC Slim SFF 4GB, 120GB SSD drive, WLG800, RFXCom, TI103,NetCam, UltraNetcam3, BLBackup, CurrentCost 3P Rain8Net, MCsSprinker, HSTouch, Ademco Security plugin/AD2USB, JowiHue, various Oregon Scientific temp/humidity sensors, Z-Net, Zsmoke, Aeron Labs micro switches, Amazon Echo Dots, WS+, WD+ ... on and on.

I'm trying to investigate the Alexa issues that happen specifically with HS 4.1.17.0
If you have some problems with Alexa with other versions please open new threads
Jez,

can you tell me if you are using the HomeSeer Home Automation Skill (i.e tell HomeSeer) or the HomeSeer SmartHome Skill ?

Sorry for the late response. I haven't been at home. Attached is a screenshot of the result that I got. Thanks.

I upgraded to 4.1.17.0 on Linux. I am using the "Homeseer" skill. All of my devices can still be controlled by Alexa, and I did not refresh or reconfigure anything on the Alexa side. It simply works.
In related news, 4.1.17.0 fixes the long-standing bug with Google Home getting device status from HS. I didn't have to re-sync or otherwise mess with my Google Home/HS4 settings. Yay!
